Photos are meant to be shared
It was actually raining while I took this image. The meadows along the street were ponds and the clouds are hanging over the landscape. This image is very moody that’s probably why we call a “bad” day a “rainy” day. I included the road on the left hand side and while I reflected over the mood of this image I got the idea that no matter how rainy the day might be there is always a road to go.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
After the rain storm I walked early in the morning to feed a group of abandoned cats. Suddenly some weeds caught me eyes. The sun was just right to give me the opportunity to create some beautiful images. This is one of them.

I photographed this mailbox and the attached red flag standing nice and dry inside a store in Mariposa, CA. The water drops on the flag caught my attention. I also liked the color contrast in this image.
Enjoy and keep your camera dry when you are photographing.
The weather report for this week is “rain, rain, rain.” This is an opportunity to photograph either during or shortly after the rain stops and everything is still wet. Rain opens up a lot of opportunity for great images and keep in mind that many movies are recorded shortly after the rain stops. As always enjoy this challenge and watch your gear!
I photographed this street sign yesterday in Mariposa, CA. The water came down in buckets and I was standing in front of a store. Luckily there was a large overhanging which helped me and more important my camera to stay dry.
I noticed that all the photographs were shot outside. So my attention turned to the inside of our house. I found this old candle holder and candle which caught my eye. I used a sift light coming from about 2 o’clock creating a beautiful shadow on the candle.

These weeds which are are growing in my back-yard, can look beautiful. It is the job of the photographer to do just that. I used my 70-200 lens and open it up to blur the background. The blurred background let’s you focus on the plant.

My rose bushes are starting to grow and I photographed the new leaves early in the morning. It was foggy meaning the light was very soft. In post production I increased the contrast in a new adjustment layer and used the overlay mode to create this image.

I was once told that Ruth Bernhard, a San Franciscan photographer, once said that “if you can’t find beauty around your house within 30 feet (10 meters roughly) you are living at the wrong place.” I believe there is a lot of truth to this statement and I challenge you to find beauty around your home and photograph it.
The peach tree in my back yard just started to blossom. I love the curved line and the blossoms in the corners. The background is a rose bush which is totally thrown out of focus.

In 2002 I purchased the new Sony Cybershot F707 which was considered at the time a “lens with a camera attached.” This five mega-pixel camera was quite decent and for the first time I printed 11X17 images that looked quite good. Even today this camera could be used for some website photography.
Enjoy and happy week-end!
